Assessment and Plan
Contained perforated marginal ulcer Admitted to SICU Serial abdominal exams, NPO Steroids held, started Zosyn If clinically changes, OR 6 hours later, abdominal pain returned
www.downstatesurgery.org
OR
Exploratory laparotomy Free air on entry to peritoneum, no free fluid or enteric content Jejunojejunostomy densely adherent to anterior abdominal wall. Stomach adherent to undersurface left lobe liver and omentum Appreciated gastrojejunostomy to proximal gastric pouch and confirmed Roux-en-Y
www.downstatesurgery.org
OR Continued
Confirmed perforation at gastrojejunal anastomosis, extremely fibrotic. Scant enteric content seen. Transected jejunum from stomach with perforation site and biopsied surrounding tissue, frozen negative Prior gastrojejunostomy site closed hand sewn Connell/Lembert New gastrojejunostomy created several cm from GE junction, NG passed 10cm distally into jejunum Lymphazurin blue with saline with Roux limb closed – no leak JP placed next to new GJ, fascia closed, retention sutures

Post-Operative Course POD#0-1 Extubated, re-intubated 2 hours later while agitated, lip smacking. Head CT and EEG negative, neurology “metabolic encephalopathy” POD#2-4 Patient removed her NGT Return of bowel function, foley d/c’ed POD#5 UGI series no leak, diet advanced POD#7 d/c home after 7 day course of fluconazole and zosyn (ID) Final pathology no malignancy (ulcer site, jejunum, omentum, tissue surrounding perforation)

Obesity: Why it’s important
• Disease, now epidemic •Minorities, low socioeconomic, women
• 2nd cause of preventable death in US
•1980: 25% adults, 1990: 34% •12 fold ↑ mortality (age 25-34)
www.downstatesurgery.org
Pathophysiology
Factors
•Decreased energy expenditure •Reduced thermogenic response to meals •High set point for body weight •Decrease in heat energy loss •Intestinal flora composition
• Central/visceral fat distribution
•Excessive caloric intake while lacking satiety
www.downstatesurgery.org
Who’s fit for surgery?
•Diet, exercise, behavior changes
•75 lb weight loss •3% success rate, returns after 1 year •Best for BMI up to 35, or lower with risk factors
•Pharmacotherapy •Sibutramine: noradrenaline & 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitor (appetite suppressant) •Orlistat: inhibits gastric/pancreatic enzymes (↓ lipid absorbtion)
•Failed management, BMI of 35 with significant co-morbidities, or BMI > 40 warrants surgical management
•Psychologically stable, ASA < IV, most drug addiction
www.downstatesurgery.org
History of Bariatric Surgery •1892: Dr. Cesar Roux developed Roux-en-Y for gastric obstruction
•1969: Dr. Edward Mason and Dr. Chikashi Ito applied to obesity •1977: Dr. Ward Griffin modified Roux-en-Y
•1950’s: jejunoileal bypass
•Liver failure and nutritional complications
•1979: Dr. Nicola Scopinaro developed biliopancreatic diversion •1980: Dr. Mason described vertical band gastroplasty •1980’s: Duodenal switch by Dr. Tom DeMeester
•Treat bile reflux gastritis
•1986: Dr. Douglas Hess combines BPD and DS
•1994: Dr. Belachew first lap gastric band, Dr. Wittgrove and Dr. Clark first lap Roux-en-Y

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding: Key Steps
• Reverse trendelenburg • Divide peritoneum at angle of His • Divide gastrohepatic ligament at
pars flaccida • If hiatal hernia present, repair
• Pass grasper (right to left), pull band under posterior surface of GE junction, lock buckle at lesser curvature
• Imbricate fundus and proximal stomach over band
• Secure tubing/port to anterior abdominal wall fascia
www.downstatesurgery.org
LAGB Complications Relative risk low vs. other bariatric surgery
• High patient dissatisfaction (41% remove at 10 years)
Efficacy for BMI > 50 not impressive • Previous upper GI surgery (IE Nissen) poor candidates
Prolapse most common emergent complication requiring re-operation (3%)
• Excessive vomiting predisposes • Plain film – look for horizontal position of band
• Should be 1-2 o’clock / 7-8 o’clock
Initial treatment – remove fluid from system • If fails, upper GI series
• OR to reduce manually and re-suture band
www.downstatesurgery.org
LAGB Complications
Port/tubing leakage or kinking • Re-align or revise under local
Slippage -3% require operation • Greatly reduced with pars flaccida technique
Band erosion (1-2%) • High suspicion if port site infection or fever without
florid sepsis • Endoscopy diagnostic • Treat by removing band, repair perforation if not
already sealed by inflammatory process
www.downstatesurgery.org
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Key Steps
Port placement • Cleveland vs. Virginia Proximal jejunum divided 40-50cm distal to LoT, divide mesentery • Penrose/suture proximal Roux limb Measure Roux limb (100-150cm), create jejunojejunostomy
• Connect jejunum to biliopancreatic limb (side to side), close stapler defect, close mesentery
www.downstatesurgery.org
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Key Steps
Create gastric pouch Connect it to Roux limb
www.downstatesurgery.org
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Complications
Mortality 0.5% reported series BOLD reports 5.9% morbidity in 14,491 procedures
• 0.3% anastomotic leak • 0.33% venous thromboembolism • 3-5% wound infection • 3-15% marginal ulcer • 7% bowel obstruction • 1-19% anastomosis stenosis
Nutritional complications
• 5% Iron deficiency • 50% B12 deficiency • 15% vitamin D deficiency
www.downstatesurgery.org
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Complications
Anastomotic leak – most feared complication • Immediate postoperative period • Tachycarida, tachypnea, fever, and oliguria
• CT and gastrograffin swallow false negative • Consider re-laparoscopy
Hematemesis
• Bleeding from gastrojejunostomy until ruled out
Small bowel obstruction –think INTERNAL HERNIA • Peterson defect (posterior to Roux limb) • Require surgical therapy emergency
www.downstatesurgery.org
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Complications
Marginal ulcers • Diagnose with endoscopy • PPI effective 90% • Surgical treatment reserved for:
• gastrogastric fistula • stenosis of gastrojejunostomy that fails
dilatation • acute perforation
www.downstatesurgery.org
Biliopancreatic Diversion: Key Steps
Distal subtotal gastrectomy 200cm of most distal ileum anastomosed to stomach Biliopancreatic limb anastomosed 75-100cm proximal to ileocecal valve
www.downstatesurgery.org
Duodenal Switch: Key Steps
Gastrectomy: Lesser curvature spared • 32-40 Fr diameter optimizes wt loss • Pylorus intact Distal 250cm ileum anastomosed to duodenum (high leak rate)
www.downstatesurgery.org
Biliopancreatic Diversion and Duodenal Switch: Complications
Similar to Roux-en-Y BPD higher incidence of marginal ulcers • Led to adaptation of combined duodenal switch
Most nutritional problems
• Diarrhea • Protein-calorie malabsorption • Fat soluble vitamins must be supplemented
daily
www.downstatesurgery.org
Sleeve Gastrectomy: Key Steps
Pass 32F bougie along lesser curvature Divide stomach 2-3cm from pylorus to angle of His along greater curvature
•4.5mm stapler
www.downstatesurgery.org
Sleeve Gastrectomy: Complications
Low morbidity compared to other bypass procedures Excess weight loss at 3 years
www.downstatesurgery.org
Summary Obesity is a growing problem, preventable Screening requires taking steps, mental screening important Each bypass has large risks peri-operatively and long term Complications come in 2 flavors: early and late. Recognize early signs and symptoms with high index of suspicion.
